rest him and arrived just as the family
were sitting down to supper. As he
went into the house. Flint slipped out.
without hat or overcoat. unhitched the
officers team unbeknown to anybody,
and drove away. After getting off as far
as he thought best, in that plight, he
turned the team about and let the horse
go back without a driver. In the course
of the night Flint returned and concealed
himself on the high beams in the barn.
where he was found the next day by Mr..
working, who told him that any further
attempt to escape was useless and deliv-
cred him up to the officer, who brought
him here and put him in Jail. Against
the array of evidence thus outlined was
presented the simple denial of the re-
spondent, fortified only by the usual FAM
ilv alibi. 1t seems that when Flint came
home that night his father and mother
were both in bed in separate rooms. The
mother was asleep, but the father thinks
he had not been asleep. The mother
swears that she got up at half-past ten
and went to Johns room and spoke to
him. and he was in bed. On the day of
Johns arrest, however. when she was in
great grief and excitement, she told her
attendant, who suggested that John
might be innocent, that she got up at
eleven o'clock and John was not in and
she did not know when he did come in.
1t is shown that Flint walked hone on
the evening of the robbery with Mrs.
Whitton. who was then living with W.
ii. Lewis and wife, IS rods below Flint's,
and she swears that five minutes after he
left her at the door the clock struck ten.
Mr.. and Mr.. Lewis both swear positively
that their clock was half an hour fast and
was designedly kept so, showing that the
mile below the hotel and less than a
quarter of "A mile from his fathers house,
was a little before half-past nine. Flint
swears that he walked directly home and
went directly to bed, and that it then
lacked two or three minutes of half-past
ten. Flint swore positively at the form
er trial that he did not meet Blair in the
kitchen and that he did not go into the
kitchen at the hotel on the night of the
robbery. At this trial the fact was prov
en- by four eyewitness, with one of
whom Flint conferred after his arrest to
see what he would swear to as to the
time when he and Blair were in the kitch-
en-. Such is the testimony which is found
sufficient to breed doubt in the minds
of nine ''intelligent jurors" of the guilt
of respondent whose own conduct has
amounted to confession over and over
again, and whose accomplish is witness
for the State.

The following story, related in Babyhood,
is said to be an actual fact:
Three little children rode down to the sta
ton with papa, who was going "to town for
family supplies. Papa had always worn
heavy whiskers and mustache. He visited
the barber and came home with closely
cropped locks and close trimmed mustache
only. The loss Of his luxuriant beard actually
transformed him so that his "best friend
would have scarcely known him. The chill
dren. being accustomed TO strangers, chatted
with him on his return, and nothing strange
was noticed until they began to worry lest
papa was not coming home that night.
"Why, papa has como home said mamma
IN wondering tones.
"Why don't he come in the houseT
"Why, he has been in. Don't you remem-
her he brought you some peauutsT
That gentlemanf That's company
In vain mamma explained; and, when papa
came into the house again, he was told the
children's grief at his non. return. He tried
10 convince them, but 10 was not possible.
The positive temperament they had inherited
from him was not 10 be argued with success
fully. Nrayely they noticed that he actually
received all papa's privileges, and seemed
scandalized that lie put them to bed, and oc-
cupied papas room. and waited on them just
as papa used 10 dol Gradually they fell into
the habit Of calling him papa, but 10 them he
was the new papa;' and they sadly wondered
for months if the "old papa" who went to
town. would never. never cOme homie any
more.

Among the numerous pets for boys the
guinea pig has always held its own and
formed nm important adjunctto the rabbitry.
Guinea pigs are very timid by nature, and,
like rabbits, prefer a darkened hutch. Bur
rowing under the hay or straw, they will
squat for hours. sitting closely together. The
dinner hour marks an exciting period in these
little creatures lives. As their keeper arrives
with the meal. a deafening chorus Of squeaks
is raised and the pigs rot about with their
heads in the air. But no sooner is the pen
